Back to Vista Guapa...Parte Dos

Memorial Day, Monday, May 25:
Breakfast was once again most delicious consisting of tostada Franceas, queso frito, y heuvos revuelots con queso y jamon. ( Eric is now practicing this for tomorrow’s breakfast.)

Back to the pool with my trusty “jukebox.”


Two “visitors” showed up at the pool.




Two cows have been added to the Vista Guapa family. :)

Eric decides this is a perfect opportunity for him to practice his pool handstands (aka party tricks). Our friends from yesterday left so we have the pool (and camp for that matter) to ourselves and so now we can be as stupid as we wanna. :) (did I mention that I have the most awesome underwater camera)








Day 2 of Surfing…better than the first for sure. Durby paddled out with me and Eric rocked the white water with Alberto. Today’s session included: 1 surfboard in the head, 1 gash on the ankle from a fin, 1 lost light brown contact and 2 bruise shins from the board…and yet we’re still smiling. :)

Back to Taco Bar for our post-surf snack…where I lost my most favorite hat :( …I hope whoever “found” it enjoys it as much as I did.

As we walked down the street something funny happen. This chick asked (what I thought was us, but now know was aimed toward Eric) “What time is it?” and the when he didn’t answer she said “Que hora es?” When Eric still didn’t answer I told her and then I got the LOOK OF DEATH from this chick. Apparently she wasn’t thrilled that I was with Eric. I think she was looking for her next client. I found this all to be hilarious as we continued to walk down the street. Eric was glad that I was there to “protect” him. lol

Another slightly weird incident followed right after this. We went into this (fairly nice) surf shop (the plan was to take in some A/C) and seemed to be followed by the sales clerk. We promptly left…we must have looked suspicious. lol

We headed to another surf shop where Eric picked up some goggles…no A/C in this one though…more like a sauna.

Back to camp for more poolage and pool tricks…Eric has new goggles…check ‘em out!








The rain started coming down as we headed back up and down the hill for dinner.


Alberto took us to Rioasis where we had pizza and strawberry margaritas, while watching Lakers vs Nuggets.




Another good day.


Tuesday, May 26:

Did you know the sun comes up at 5am here?

After breakfast we decided to go on a canopy zipline tour. This was tons of fun and super sweaty.






The view was amazing and we even saw poisonous frogs. lol





I went upside down a couple of times (sooo awesome) but the trick was not to lose my sunglasses, camera or wallet. Good times :)



Chilled on the porch with the dogs before it was time to surf.

We got to the beach where Eric finally found his boat!! lol



…he even did a little blowfish “fishing.”



The waves were good today but few and far between. Eric rode quite a few today. Whoo Hoo! :)





Back to camp where there was a wheelbarrel full of fresh mangos from the tree by the pool.



Then more chillin’ in the hammock with cerverza y agua



…of course with a doggie companion.



Meet Noe... Alvaro's son. One of two super cool kids that live at Vista Guapa.


Dinner with Alberto at Rey Marino. For starters we had fried plantains with black beans (soooo good). Then for the main course we had the “Especial Grande” that was huge and had absolutely everything on it!



So full, so tired.

It all looks like so much fun! I've always wanted to do a zipline... even just the kiddie ones at the place I take Lauren!
